Triplets: Daddy, Please Pamper Us Lightly
Chapter 169 - 168: The Last Straw_1

Chapter 169: Chapter 168: The Last Straw_1

The man noted Lady Hao Lian’s changed complexion and asked somewhat curiously, "Madam, you surely know that the young miss has been dead for over a decade?"

The young miss had been dead for over a decade?

How could that be possible?

This sudden tragic news made Lady Hao Lian waver on her feet.

She had always thought that her daughter had refused to contact her for so many years because of a grudge over past events.

But she did not realize that her daughter was no longer alive!

"Hao Lian Yong, what in the world is going on?"

The sharp gaze of Lady Hao Lian fell onto Hao Lian Yong, her eyes filled with cold disappointment.

No wonder she hadn’t received any news about her daughter all these years. She had nurtured a wolf by her side who had sealed off all news about her daughter.

Hao Lian Yong also seemed unprepared at this time.

His original plan was flawless, intending to reveal the news of Hao Lianyu’s death to her after publicly announcing the transfer of the leadership in front of everybody at the banquet.

He wanted this news to be the last straw that would break her.

But he did not expect that before he could gain control of the power, the news of Hao Lianyu’s death would be revealed!

However, since he could not hide it anymore, he decided to use this opportunity to defeat her once and for all.

He signaled to An Qianqian who was supporting the old lady. After understanding his intentions, she immediately took the initiative to speak, "Grandma, uncle kept this from you because he did not want it to overly upset you and harm your health. Please mourn appropriately..."

Mourn appropriately!

Her wonderful daughter had just disappeared.

How could she mourn appropriately?

At this moment, Lady Hao Lian understood everything!

It was not that her daughter was too heartless, nor that she had deserted her. Rather, she had passed away long ago and was no longer in the world of the living!

Yet, for all these years, Hao Lian Yong had continuously deceived her. He misled her into believing that her daughter was doing well in Haishi and did not want to have anything to do with the Hao Lian family, nor accept any gifts from her.

Believing it to be true, she had not actively tried to contact her daughter for over a decade.

She stubbornly hoped that one day her daughter would regret her decision and voluntarily come back to make peace with her.

But never did she expect, instead of hearing words of regret from her daughter, she received the shocking news of a parent sending off a child!

Thinking of how she had not even been able to see her daughter for the last time before her death, Lady Hao Lian trembled in rage.

"Hao Lian Yong, you... you..."

Before the words ’ungrateful wretch’ could leave her mouth, the old lady passed out due to a fit of anger.

"Grandma...." An Qianqian half kneeled and in time to support the old lady. She looked worriedly tense.

The others at the banquet did not expect this, and did not know what to do.

"Move!"

A harsh order echoed through the crowd. People turned around to see a charming figure swiftly rushing to the old lady’s side.

She was checking the old lady’s pulse, her expression grave.

Seeing her actions, the crowd buzzed with whispers.

"Who is that? Is she a doctor?"

"I heard she is Young Master Shen’s female companion. So young, she must be at most an intern doctor, right?"

"It looks like the old lady is not doing well. Can this young doctor handle the situation? What if she makes the old lady’s condition deteriorate?"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin suddenly step in to check the old lady’s pulse at this critical moment, Hao Lian Yong started to panic.

He walked briskly towards them, about to order the young girl checking the old lady’s pulse to stop.

But before he could utter a word, the young girl suddenly looked up at him with a steely gaze, "Mr Hao Lian Yong, you surely are not thinking of stopping me from saving someone?"
